Climate change reversal is possible

Peter Andrews OAM says the reversal of climate change, the most urgent problem facing humanity today, is possible. Bringing large areas back from environmental ruin are key to stabilising the earth's climate, and making sustainable agriculture possible. Industry needs to adapt but individuals are essential in this turnabout.

The new HIGH PRIESTS of our society, namely the MEDIA MAGNATES and BILLIONAIRE SHOPPING CENTRE OWNERS and their PUPPETS are making sure we are focused ON ANYTHING BUT the world's ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS.

I have read Peter's, Beyond the Brink and its brilliant. Sadly, I have noticed that it is RARELY BORROWED at my local library. The TRASHY ROMANCE NOVELS, TRASHY MAGAZINES and DIY BATHROOM RENOVATION books are FAR FAR MORE IN DEMAND.

Dear Phillip, so pleased that you have Peter Andrews on tonight's program. He really is a thought leader regarding climate change in Australia, especially regarding the need to work with nature rather than against it. This ecological vision of mimicking natural processes is a paradigm shift which is only slowly working its way through the pioneer mentality that has mismanaged agriculture since the colonial conquest. You might consider inviting Dr John Williams, former head of CSIRO Land and Water, on as a follow up.

Thank you Phillip for a very good, clear and easy to understand interview.Amazingly simple stuff really however unfortunately it is like a dust particle in the universe of comment regarding climate change and our worsening landscape.

I hope some who are in a position in government or bureaucracy to make things happen, give it some thought.

There are a few websites about Peter's Natural Sequence Farming where one can glean more info if so inclined.

Once again, a great interview Phillip.

Another website Soilsforlife.org features farmers who have been greatly influenced by Peter's work: Martin Royds and Craig Carter to name 2. This group has close links to the government and is led by Major General Michael Jeffery who knows Peter well. So there is much hope!

Great stuff. From previous interviews and comments it would appear that Peter Andrews is on the right track and maybe some professions and politicians are on the wrong one?Who is going to investigate this in the Australian context with regard to agricultural and environment policies?Are there any current initiatives to at least investigate Peter Andrews theories?I have grand-children and I am hopeful that their grand-children can occupy a country that has is self-sustaining and productive. Is there anything that I (and any motivated others in the great unwashed category) can do to help protect the rural environment?Help!

Being open to what Peter is suggesting is being open to experiencing a paradigm shift. I believe the best way to do that is to act as if one believes in the new paradigm and then observe what happens. In my experience there then follow various crises of belief ( for example when the local gardening club come for a visit or you're not sure whether the system can really go beyond rampant oxalis).

Personally it has taken me several years faith and crisis to finally experience belief and to now be without a shadow of a doubt that what Peter says about weeds is true.

An enormous part of the key is observation- of the plants and insects and other animals and of ones own thoughts. Another key is something to do with an attitude to the 'sacredness' of life and an willingness to do no harm.

Yes John! A lot is being done to get Peter's message out there. Visit the website: soilsforlife.org.au which is funded by the govt. and profiles about 20 farmers who understand the impostance of soils.By the end of the year they promise 100 farmers will be documented.

Great interview! Peter Andrews is an amazing man with a formidable spirit and passion. I hope in his life time he gets to see the changes to the landscape he has lost so much for, and I hope he gets apologies from all the bureaucrats who have ignored this knowledge for years. Lets keep up with Peter, and keep him in the spotlight.
